Nationally syndicated radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt grilled David Corn of Mother Jones after evidence surfaced widely debunking his accusation Bill O’Reilly exaggerated his coverage of the Falklands War.
Corn accused Bill O’Reilly of misrepresenting events during his time as a CBS News correspondent at a level on par with now-disgraced NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams. Former NBC News reporter Dan Browne, who was the Miami Bureau Chief at the time, appeared on Monday’s broadcast of The O’Reilly Factor to validate Bill O’Reilly and back up his story about violence in Buenos Aires following Argentina’s surrender in the Falklands War.
Browne said it was a “very intense situation” and “extremely violent and volatile.”
“You call it a riot,” Browne said to O’Reilly. “It was a very intense situation where people got hurt and it was a very serious confrontation, and it was a defining moment, when the populace really turned on the military.”
“Any situation like that, where you bring that kind of intensity together in a protest where the police and, in this case the military, are reacting aggressively, it’s a dangerous cocktail,” Browne also said.
Corn would not answer questions regarding his own biography or history with FOX News, from which he was fired, and hung up on Hugh Hewitt for asking the Mother Jones editor to establish his and his story’s credibility.

Further, CBS News released their 1982 broadcast of CBS Evening News featuring anchor Dan Rather, who reported the violence and Marshall law following Argentina’s surrender in the Falklands War. Further, the Christian Science Monitor report from 1982 surfaced that characterized the event Bill O’Reilly covered as a “battle zone” with tanks rolling down the street and reporters being shot.

Corn does not need to prove his credibility he’s not the one that was caught lying.
